Postnatal and Parent & Baby Yoga in Colchester

A postnatal or mum & baby yoga class typically concentrates on building strength and easing tension within the body, while also incorporating relaxation and meditation techniques to help you catch up on rest and learn how to soothe your nervous system.

One thing to bear in mind about parent & baby yoga classes is that they will never go according to plan: some babies will cry, some might want to feed, and others might insist on sleeping on you for the entire class. There are absolutely no expectations or rules when it comes to parent & baby yoga - everything is welcome and nothing is judged. You are welcome to show up exactly as you are and do as much or as little as you like. Even if you skip certain postures, don’t feel up to trying a breathwork technique, or have to rock your baby for the entire class, you’ll still be immersing yourself in a safe and nurturing space alongside other parents who know exactly what you’re going through.

If leaving the house is difficult or you don’t want to see other parents and babies, get in touch to discuss private postnatal yoga classes.
